PREFACE, 



1. Words are the creation of mind. With the faculty of speech, man was 
endowed with exalted mental powers, and warm social feelings ; but the thoughts 
of his mind and the feelings of his heart lay hid within him, and could not be 
communicated, till by the creative power of his mind, he formed words to 
express them. Words then are, — the medium of communicating our thoughts 
and feelings, and rendering them audible,— the means by which the knowledge 
and experience of age are added to the store and made the property of the 
young, — the vehicle by which mind is brought into contact with mind, and the 
eternal mind made known ; for, by the written word, the Creator's will is 
revealed to man. 

2. As words were formed to convey not only the thoughts of the mind, but the 
feelings of the heart, they would, in the first production or subsequent alteration 
of a language, naturally take that shape which would best represent the mental 
and physical powers. Those sounds would be selected which were adapted 
to the frame of the organs, and the feelings to be expressed. The consonants 
being the strength, and the vow r els the vivifying principle, the life, spirit and 
feeling of words, the predominance of one of these elements or their more 
equable succession, would depend upon the physical constitution. A robust 
conformation of the bodily frame, and great energy of mind, would, therefore, 
naturally express itself in words of corresponding strength and tone. These 
are the features which distinguish the languages of Gothic origin, especially the 
Anglo-Saxon, with its immediate descendant, the modern English, which has the 
strength of iron, with the gleam and sparkling of burnished steel.* 

3. Instead of continuing to associate with the Gothic tribes, nothing but 
ignorance, crnelty, and barbarity, let us ever remember, — that we are indebted 
to them for our strong physical powers, our nervous language, and our unrivalled 
freedom under our glorious constitution, — that they still live in our popular 
traditions, and perpetual discourse. Disgusted by the effeminacy and vices of 
the Romans, they subdued the empire, and became its moral reformers. f We 
may, therefore, well conclude, with the author of the Spirit of Laws : — " What 
ought to recommend the Gothic race, beyond every people upon earth, is, that 
they afforded the great resource to the liberty of Europe, that is, to almost all 
the liberty that is among men. Jornandes, the Goth, calls the north of Europe 
* The Forge of Mankind,' — I should rather call it, the forge of those instru- 
ments which broke the fetters manufactured in the south. It was there, those 
valiant nations were bred, who left their native climes to destroy tyrants and 
liberate slaves, and to teach men that, nature having made them equal, no reason 
could be assigned for their becoming dependent, but their mutual happiness." 

4. Wherever these tribes appeared, liberty prevailed. They thought and 
acted for themselves. They were free, and loved the language of freedom. 
Where is the Englishman that does not feel his heart beat with conscious pride 
and independence, when he considers his Freedom? Hz feels he has &f?ee 
doom, province or jurisdiction, in which none dare interfere, — he is entirely 
free, — free to enjoy, and do all the good of which his benevolent nature is 
capable. How tame is the Romanised liberty, in comparison with the old

IV PREFACE. 

Gothic, Germanic and English Freedom! With boasted liberty superficially on 
the lip, then is often licentiousness, and consequent oppression, — but we feel 
\om to be more deeply seated, even in the heart : — here Freedom is not only 
enjoyed, but cordially permitted, and extended to all. This is true, heartfelt 
Freedom, and we derived it from our Anglo-Saxon forefathers. Every English- 
man who glories in the vigour of his Father land, — who would clearly under- 
stand, and feel the fall force of his Mother tongue, ought to study Anglo- 
Saxon, as this is the immediate and copious source of the English language. 
It is estimated that in English there are about 38,000 words. Of these, about 
23,000, or more than five-eighths, are of Anglo-Saxon origin. Not only in the 
number of words, but in their peculiar character and importance, as well as their 
influence on grammatical forms, it must be universally acknowledged that 
Anglo-Saxon constitutes its principal strength. At the same time that our chief 
peculiarities of structure and idiom are essentially Anglo-Saxon, from the same 
copious fountain have sprung, — words designating the greater part of objects of 
sense,— the terms which occur most frequently in discourse, and which recall 
the most vivid conceptions, as, Sun, moon, earth, fire, spring, day, night, heat, 
cold, sea, land, etc., — words expressive of the dearest connexions, the strongest 
and most powerful feelings of nature, from our earliest days; as, Motfier, 
father, sister, brother, wife, home, childhood, play, etc. — the language of busi- 
ness, of the shop, the market, the street, the farm, and of every day life, — our 
national proverbs, — our language of humour, satire, and colloquial pleasantry, — 
the most energetic words we can employ whether of kindness or invective, — 
in short, words expressive of our strongest emotions, and actions, in all the 
most stirring scenes of life, from the cradle to the grave. Every speaker or 
writer then, who would not only convince the understanding, but touch the 
heart, must avoid Latinised expressions, and adopt Anglo-Saxon, which from 
early use and the dearest associations excite emotion, and affect the heart. 
Though a word of Latin or Anglo-Saxon origin may be equally well understood, 
the one will impart the most vivid, and the other the most frigid conception of 
the meaning. The difference is that of the winter's and summer's sun. The 
light of the former may be as clear and dazzling as that of the latter, but the 
genial warmth is gone.* 

5. This view of the language will clearly shew its importance to every English- 
man, but a short account of the origin of the present inhabitants of England, 
will prove that we owe our physical vigour, yea, our very being, as well as our 
expressive language to the Gothic tribes, the Jutes, the Saxons and Angles. — 
The Saxons, like all the Teutoni or Germans, were of oriental origin. They 
may have derived their appellation from the Sakai or Sacae, who probably gave 
the name of Sakasina to part of Armenia. The Saxons were as far westward as 
the Elbe in the days of Ptolemy, a.d. 90; and, therefore, in all probability, 
amongst the first Germanic or Teutonic tribes, that visited Europe. Their 
situation between the Elbe and the Eyder in the south of Denmark, seems to 
indicate that they moved amongst the foremost columns of the vast Teutonic 
emigration. These tribes, the Jutes, the Saxons and Angles, which successively 
obtained settlements in Britain, will only claim particular attention. 

6. The Jutes [Iotas] gained the first possessions. Hengist and Horsa, two 
brothers, from Jutland in Denmark, arrived in three small ships at Ebbs-fleet, on 
the Isle of Thanet, in a.d. 449. f These Jutes had this island assigned to them 
as a reward for assisting the Britons against the Picts and Scots. They sub- 
eequently obtained possession of Kent, the Isle of Wight, and part of Hampshire.

PREFACE. V 

7. The Saxons had a very extensive territory. The first Saxon kingdom was 
established by Ella in a.d. 491, under the name of the South-Saxons [StrS- 
Seaxe], now including Sussex, and part of Surrey. — In 494, another powerful 
colony arrived under Cerdic ; and, being west of the other, they were called 
West-Saxons [West Seaxe] : they occupied Hants, Berks, Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, 
Devon, and part of Cornwall. — A third Saxon kingdom, in a.d. 527, was planted 
in Essex, Middlesex, and the south of Hertfordshire, under the name of East- 
Saxons [East-Seaxe], hence the modern word, Essex. 

8. The Angles [Engle], from Anglen, the country between Flensburg and the 
Schley, in the south-east of the Duchy of Sleswick in Denmark, settled about 
a.d. 527, in East Anglia, containing Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and part of 
Bedfordshire. — Ida, in a.d. 547, began to establish himself in Bernicia, compre- 
hending Northumberland and the south of Scotland between the Tweed and the 
Firth of Forth.— About a.d. 559 Ella conquered Deira [Deora mseg^] lying 
between the Humber and the Tweed, including the counties of York, Durham, 
Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lancashire. — Mercia was 
formed into an independent state by Crida, about a.d. 586, bounded by the 
Thames, Humber, and Severn, and comprehended the counties of Chester, 
Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Northampton. Rutland, Huntingdon, the north of 
Beds, Hertford, Warwick, Bucks, Oxon, Worcester, Hereford, Gloucester, Staf- 
ford and Salop. 

9. Thus, it appears that, 1 Jute, 3 Saxon, and 4 Angle, altogether 8 king- 
doms were established in Britain by the year 586, and that the Angles and 
Saxons bore the leading and chief part in the expeditions, they, therefore, when 
settled in this country, were collectively called Anglo-Saxons. The Angles 
[Engle] were the most numerous, and so predominated as to call the land of 
their adoption Engla land, the Engles' or Angles' land, contracted into England. 

10. Anglo-Saxon, that is Angle, Engle or English-Saxon, is the language of 
the Piatt, Low, Flat, or North part of Germany, brought into this country by the 
Jutes, the Angles, and Saxons, and modified and written in England. Those, 
who remained in their old locality on the continent, had the name of Old-Saxons, 
and their language Old-Saxon, but those settled in Britain were properly desig- 
nated Anglo-Saxons, and their language, perfected and written in England, was 
called Anglo-Saxon. We are indebted to King Alfred, and the numerous 
writings of Alfric for the best specimens of Anglo-Saxon, the language spoken 
and written in England in their times. The early poems on Beowulf, and the 
poetry of Caedmou have an anterior date. Many Anglo-Saxon works have been 
published* to which continental writers have easy access, but much still remains 
to be printed before the erudite Germans and Danes can- have the same advan- 
tages, which are offered to us in an easy access to our rich manuscript stores. 

11. Those who desire to trace the origin of Anglo-Saxon, or to compare it 
with cognate dialects, must first go to the 01d-Saxon,f the Low-German spoken 
by the continental race, remaining in the localities from which the Jutes, the 
Angles, and Saxons migrated to England. There is not any written specimen 
of the language spoken by these Old-Saxons; but, in a collateral dialect, there 
is a fine poem of the ninth century, called Heliand,| Healer or Saviour, Some 
of the Low German race migrated to England and were denominated Anglo, or

English Saxons, others passed to the lower Rhine and settled there. This Heliand 
is written in t he dialect of these Rhenish Old Saxons, it is, therefore, a sister 
dialect, and of the iirst importance in illustrating Anglo-Saxon. Recourse may 
then he had to other works in Piatt, or Low-German.* The High-German, the 
Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish may then be consulted, and traced 
to their oriental origin. None of the German or Scandinavian dialects have 
writings of an earlier date than the Anglo-Saxons, except the Germanic in the 
Moeso-Gothic Gospels of Ulphilas, a.d. 370, and some Icelandic. As a 
zealous attempt has been made to trace the origin and history of these languages, 
in the preface to "A Dictionary of the Anglo-Saxon Language,"f and now pub- 
lished as a separate work, £ it is unnecessary to proceed with any further par- 
ticulars.

PREFACE. VU 

13. The present volume has no higher aim than to give in English a com- 
pendious explanation of Anglo-Saxon words. It is not, as was first intended, 
a mere abridgment of the large Dictionary mentioned in the preceding para- 
graph, but almost entirely a new work, containing, in one alphabetical order, a 
great number of words hitherto omitted. In this compendious Dictionary, and 
fn The Origin of the English, etc.* will be found, at a very moderate price, all 
that is most practical and valuable, in the thick and expensive octavo, with a 
great accession of new words and matter ; some of which may be seen under 
Boc-land, Folc-land, Tun, etc. The great object has been to supply, in this 
Compendious Dictionary, a cheap and useful manual for the study of Anglo- 
Saxon. 

14. Though the writings of the celebrated Dr. James Grimm, and his learned 
countrymen, with their disciples in England, have been carefully examined, and 
the lexicographical arrangements of Graff, f Leo, % etc. been investigated, they 
have only been followed where they appeared practical. Indeed, while there has 
been, in the progress of this Dictionary, the most earnest wish, and constant 
exertion to examine all that has been written, and to go into the matter as 
deeply as possible, no pains have been spared to bring the result to the surface, 
and make it tend to practical utility. To render it a comprehensive practical 
manual, a plan has been adopted to combine the advantages of an etymologi- 
cal classification, without materially departing from the simplicity and facility 
of the usual alphabetical arrangement. The radical word is first given, with its 
grammatical inflections and different meanings, then follow the compounds and 
derivatives, indicated by Der. The Prefixes have a hyphen [-,] after them : the 
Postfixes, arranged alphabetically, have a dash [. — ] before them, and their 
meanings attached. The chief compounds are thus brought into immediate con- 
nexion with the primitive ; and, thus, the real, the etymological signification is 
at once evident, and the explanations very much abridged. The dash .— ena- 
bles the eye instantly to catch the words, in their alphabetical order, almost as 
easily as if each word commenced a line. This plan produces so great a saving 
of space as very much to diminish the size and consequently the price of the 
book.— This is the general arrangement; the details follow. 

15. Words. — It was originally intended to exclude all impure Anglo Saxon 
words, but it was subsequently found desirable to take a wider range ; and that 
for general purposes, this Compendious Dictionary might supply the place of 
the large and expensive works of Somner, Lye, etc. many words, for which no 
other authority could be found, are given with the orthography, inflection, and 
meaning on their responsibility. Some impure words are taken from the 
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with their date affixed, and others in the Northumbrian 
dialect from the Rushworth Gloss, and the Durham-Book, § but their age and 
impurity are easily ascertained by the letters of reference. 

16. Orthography. — The important aid to be derived from the erudite la- 
bours of Professor Rask and Grimm, as well as of those who adopt their, system, 
has constantly been kept in view. The orthography of the numerous words taken 
from the works of these celebrated men, and of their followers, Professor Leo, 
J. M. Kemble, Esq. M.A., B. Thorpe, Esq. etc. is adopted, when corroborated 
by Anglo-Saxon authors, in other cases their names are cited as the authority. 
Though that orthography is adopted which has the sanction of the best authors, 
yet the principal variations, in the literal expression of a word, are added in the 
order in which they differ from what is deemed the correct spelling. No fancy

PREFACE. 

or presumption has been permitted, but all authors have been allowed to present 
their wordf in their own dress, without any desire to dictate the mode in which 
now presumed they ought to have written: the determination has been 
re what they really wrote, and not what it is presumed they ought to have 
i n. Should it be objected, that words of unusual orthography or impossi- 
rmi hate been introduced, it is deemed a sufficient excuse that they have 
found so written. Mr. Halbertsma* is of opinion that it is of great 
importance to note the difference in the spelling of words, as we thus see the 
difficulty which the writer had in determining what letters he ought to use to 
m?C the" proper sound of the word. Unable to satisfy himself, in groping about 
for the proper letters, he would naturally interchange those that had a kindred 
sound. The proper letter may generally be determined, by assuming an inter- 
mediate one, between those he employs. f 

1 7. ACCENT. — Mr. Halbertsma pointedly asks — 

" Is not tlie Bnglith toneue, as to its descent and substance, still a genuine daughter of the 
Anglo-Saxon ? Does she not bear, to this very day, some features of her fair mother, notwith- 
standing her foreign ornaments? Do not many Anglo-Saxon vowels still exist in Yorkshire, 
and, and in other provincial dialects of England ? May not the English alone boast of 
having preserved the true sound of the old etch, [b th] which has disappeared from the whole 
Continent of Europe, so as not to leave the means of forming a faint idea of the sound of this 
consonant, without the aid of English ? Why should we consult only the Gothic, or what is 
still more remote from Anglo-Saxon, the Icelandic? Why should that which is unknown be 
•ought amongst the unknown, rather than in that which i9 known in the remains of the old 
sounds of the language? .... I presume that no source can shed so much light on the pronuncia- 
tion and other peculiarities of the Anglo-Saxon, as the English. "J 

These significant queries and just remarks have had due weight in the appli- 
cation of the accent in this work, where it is only used to denote the long 
vowels. Though much care has been taken in accenting the vowels, it is feared 
that errors will be discovered, especially on a subject like this, where the best 
authorities are not unfrequently in direct opposition. § 

18. Permutation. — The observations on the permutation of letters may 
seem to trench on the province of grammar : they are made to account for the 
changes in words, the irregular parts of which are given in this Dictionary, and 
referred to their themes ; as Daga, dagas, v. Daeg. v. also M. 

19. In flections. — No pains have been spared to ascertain and clearly ex- 
press the precise grammatical inflections. Nouns have their genitive cases and 
genders, and verbs their principal tenses with their irregularities given, so as to 
save the trouble of referring to any peculiar grammatical system. It has been 
said, that nouns ending in a single consonant, after a short vowel, double the 
last consonant in declining ; but as a double letter is often found at the end of 
Anglo-Saxon words, it would perhaps be better to allow such words to retain 
their double letters, as they often do in this Dictionary. Thus the origin of 
double letters at the end of English words, would be seen, at the same time that 
the Anglo-Saxon declension would be rendered more clear ; as, Bill, es ; n. A 
hill. — (Jelicness, e; f. Likeness. 

DBR. — The terminating syllables have required great attention, as 

n<l( r and declension are generally determined by the form of the last 

syllable. It seems to be a general rule, that words, denoting things without life 

with ths termination of the name of males, are masculine,^ and those taking 

dings of female names, are feminine. It has often been very difficult to 

discover the gender ; and, after much research, the result has not unfrequently

PREFACE. 



been doubtful. The best authors have been followed, for inferior writers very 
often confuse the genders. 

21. Meaning. — The meaning of the Anglo-Saxon is given in English words, 
which most resemble Anglo-Saxon ; and, for this purpose, there has not been any 
scruple in using some obsolete words and modern provincial terms. The Anglo- 
Saxon and English words are often identical in signification ; one word clearly 
defining the other renders the explanation as brief as possible ; as, Daeg, 1 . " A 
" day. 2. The time of a man's life." The radical or original signification is 
placed first, the other meanings are then arranged in that order which appeared 
most accordant with the association of ideas ; as, Feoh, " I. Cattle, living ani- 
*' mals. — Cattle being used in early times as a medium of exchange ; hence, 
" 2. Money, value, price, hire, stipend, fee, reward. — As property chiefly con- 
" sisted of cattle ; hence, 3. Goods, property, riches, wealth." See also, Feorh, 
Fyrd, M6r, Tun, etc. — In compound words it has generally been deemed suffi- 
cient to give the literal sense of each part, but where the composition could not 
be mistaken, being closely allied to the English, and the compound could be 
clearly expressed by one word, this brevity has been preferred ; as, Dseg-candel 
The sun, the literal meaning, The light or candle of day, being evident. In 
words taken from old Glossaries, with only a Latin meaning, there was no alter- 
native but to translate the Latin into English, and when possible, verifying the 
signification by the analogy and derivation of cognate words in other Germanic 
i-nguages, especially the Old-Saxon. When the signification of the corrupt 
Latin could not be discovered, the Latin has been retained, with the hope that 
others may be more successful in discovering the meaning. 

22. Phrases. — Immediately after the general signification, follow the idio- 
matical expressions and phrases, with a translation; as, Don, gedon To do, &c. 
Lif don To live. — Don to witanne To do to wit, to make to know or understand. 

23. Derivatives. — The compounds and derivatives immediately follow the 
explanation of the primitives. They occupy very little space, and the plan is so 
simple that scarcely a word of explanation is necessary. — The prefixes are 
naturally placed first ; thus, Dseg A day, etc. — Der. JE'r-, aldor-, desrS-, dom*, 
etc. that is, M 'rdseg, aldordseg, deaSdseg, etc. the meanings of which will be 
found in the alphabetical order. Then follow the other derivatives, separated by 
a colon, as : dseges, an-, forS- ; that is A'ndseges, forSdseges. — Lastly, come the

es ; n. The sun. — dse'd, e ,* /. etc. See also, Beran, Cunnan, Don, etc. 

24. Such is a minute detail of the plan proposed, but it is painfully manifest, 
that, while it was comparatively easy to arrange a plan, it has been very difficult, 
especially with failing sight and much physical debility, to carry it into exe- 
cution with any thing like satisfaction. While a deep consciousness of liability 
to err has produced a constant care to avoid a dictatorial and dogmatical spirit, 
there has been an equally constant and firm resolve to seek for truth, and to 
follow it, whether favourable or adverse to previous opinions. In short, 
the writer can conscientiously affirm, notwithstanding the imperfections of the 
work, that no efforts of his have been wanting to make it as complete as was in 
his power ; and, if he may be allowed to adopt the words of King Alfred, written 
on another subject, he would say — " Him ne wite gif he rihtlicor ongite jjonne he 
" mihte : forJ?amJ)e eelc mon sceal, be his andgites mse^e and be his semettan, 
P sprecan J>set he sprecS, arid don jjset jjset he de^S."*

A COMPENDIOUS 

ANGLO-SAXON AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY. 



1. The short or unaccented 
Anglo-Saxon a, is contained 
in the following words, which 
are represented by modern 
English terms of the same 
import, having the sound of 
a in man; as, Can, man. 
span, hand, land, sand, 
dranc, cat, camp, etc. 

2. The short a is often found 
in the final syllables of in- 
flections, -a, -an, -as, -a$, 
etc. It generally appears 
in the radix before a doubled 
consonant, as Swamm A fun- 
gus ; wann wan — • or two 
different consonants, as mp, 
mb, nt, nc, ng, etc. — Camp, 
lamb, dranc, lang, etc. 

3. The radicalshorta, can only 
stand before a single conso- 
nant, and st, sc, when this 
single consonant, and these 
double letters are again fol- 
lowed, in the inflections, by 
a, o, u, in nouns ; a, o, u, e, 
in adjectives ; and a, o,u,ia 
in verbs; as Dagas,daga,from 
dreg, fatu from fset, gastas 
from grest, ascas from resc ; 
— smales, smale, smalost, 
smalu, from smrel Small; 
— lates latu, latostfrom last 
Latex — Stapan. faran, wa- 
fian. Grimm's Deut. Oram. 
vol. I. p.223, 2ndedit.lS22. 
— In other cases, the short 
or unaccented ce is used in- 
stead of a. See AZ in its 
alphabetical order. 

4. The remarks in the last pa- 
ragraph are of great impor- 
tance in declining words ; 
for, monosyllables, ending 
in a single consonant, in st, 
or sc, reject the e from the 
short ce, and leave the short 
a alone, whenever, in de- 
clining, the consonant, or 
consonants happen to be 
followed by a, o, u in nouns, 
and a, o, u, e, in adjectives. 

5. It must be remembered 
then, that a short a cannot 
stand in a word. — (1.) When 
it ends in a single consonant, 
that is, when no inflection 
of a, o, u in nouns, follow, 
as in Staef. — (2.) When 



in nouns a single consonant 
is followed by e, as Strefes, 
staefe, wreter.--(3.) When 
the word has any other 
double consonants besides 
st, sc, though followed by a, 
o, u ; as, Crreft, craefta, 
segru n.pl. of aeg. — (4.) In 
contracted words, when ce 
is not in the last syllable j 
as iEcer, pi. eeceras, rece- 
rum, contracted recras, 
aecrum. 
6. The long Anglo-Saxon a is 
accented, and words con- 
taining this long or accented 
a, are now represented by 
English terms, with the 
vowel sounded like o in no, 
and bone. —The following 
words have either the same 
or an analogous meaning, 
both in English and Anglo- 
Saxon. — Ham Home, an 
One, ban Bone, han, stun, 
sar, rap, lar, gast, wrat. — 
Sometimes the accented or 
long a is represented in 
English by oa ; as, A'c An 
oak, gad A goad, lad, rad, 
brad, tade, fam, lam, sape, 
ar, bar, har, bat, gat, ata, 
a$, la$. — Occasionally a 
becomes oe in English ; as, 
Da A doe, fa A foe, ra, 
ta, wa; — but the oe in 
these words has the sound 
of o in no. The same may 
be said of oa in boar. — 
Hence it appears that the 
Anglo-Saxon d is repre- 
sented by the modern 
English o, oa, and oe, which 
have the sound of o in no, 
or bone : as Rad Rode (p. 
of ride), rid A road, and 
da A doe. — Deut. Gram, 
von Jacob Grimm, vol. I. p. 
358— 397, etc. 3rd edit A 840. 

7. The long a is often changed 
into 33, as Lar Lore, Izeran 
To teach. 

8. -a, added to words, denotes 
A person, an agent, or ac- 
tor, hence, — All nouns end- 
ing in a are masculine, and 
make the g. in an ; as from 
Cum Come [thou], cuma A 
personwho comes, or a guest; 

11 



swic Deceive [thou], swica 
A traitor ; worht Wrought, 
wyrhta.4 workman, a wright; 
foregeng Foregoing, fore- 
genga A foregoer; bead or 
gebedJ. supplication, a pray- 
ing, beada a person who sup- 
plicates or prays; by tl A bee- 
tle or hammer, bytla.4 ham- 
merer, a builder. — Some 
words, denoting inanimate 
things, end in -a ; and these 
words, having the same de- 
clension as those which sig- 
nify Persons or actors, are 
also masculine ; as Steorra, 
an ; m. A star: gewuna, an; 
m. A custom, habit. 
A-, Is an inseparable prefix, 
denoting negation ,deteriora- 
tion, or opposition, as From, 
out, away ; thus Awendan 
To turn from, to subvert, 
from wendan To turn ; a- 
mod Out of, or loithout mind, 
mad ; adon To do away, to 
banish, composed of a. from, 
don to do, v. JE. — The pre- 
fixed A- does not always 
appear to alter the significa- 
tion ; in this case, it is ge- 
nerally omitted in modern 
English words derived im- 
mediately from Saxon; thus, 
Aberan To bear; abrecan 
To break ; abitan To bite. 
The prefixed A-, however, 
generally adds some little 
force, or intensity, to the 
original signification of the 
word to which it is joined. 
— A-, be-, for-, ge-, and to-, 
are often indifferently and 
interchangeably prefixed to 
verbs, especially to perfect 
tenses, and to perfect par- 
ticiples, as well as to verbal 
nouns. If a word, there- 
fore, cannot be found under 
A-, it may besought for un- 
der be-, for-, ge-, to-, or 
rather under the first letter 
that remains after rejecting 
these prefixes. — A-bacan To 
bake. — bacen Baked. — bad 
Expected. — bred, -bredon 
Asked.— hreligan To be an- 
gry, Cd. — b&r Bore. — ban

Al. 1. The short or unaccented 
Anglo-Saxon ce, seems to 
have been a slight lengthen- 
ing of the short a, approach- 
ing to ae or ai in faery or 
fairy, as appears from these 
cognate words : Wad Wail, 
bradan To braid, nregel A 
20 



nail, dreg, sprer, lret, snrecc, 
mrest, aesp, brer, etc. 
2. The short or unaccented re 
stands only, — (1.) Before a 
single consonant; as Stref, 
hwrel, dreg.— (2.) A single 
consonant followed by e in 
nouns; Strefes,strefe,hwales, 
dreges, wreter, freder, recer. 
— (3.) Or before at, sc, fn, 
ft; Grest, resc,hrrefn, crreft. 
—(4.) Before pp, bb, tt, cc, 
ss ; iEppel, crrebba, hreb- 
ben, frette, frettes, wrrecca, 
nresse. — (5.) Before double 
consonants, arising from the 
inflection of monosyllabic 
adjectives: Lretne, Iretre, 
lsetra.,from\(£tLate; hwret- 
ne, hwretre, hwretra from 
hwret Quick. 

3. In the declension of mono- 
syllabic nouns and adjec- 
tives, e is rejected from the 
short or unaccented ce, and 
becomes a, when a single 
consonant, or st, sc, is fol- 
lowed by a, a, u, in nouns, 
and by a, o, u, e, in adjec- 
tives, as:— Stref, pi. stafas, 
g. stafa, d. stafum ; hwrel, 
pi. hwalas; daeg, pi. dagas. 
— Laet Late ; g. m. n. lates ; 
d. latum ; se lata The late, 
latost, latemestZafes£;smael 
Small; g. m. n. smales ; d. 
smalum ; se smala The small, 
etc. See short a in A, para- 
graph 3 and 4. 

4. The long or accented ce' is 
found in the following words, 
which are represented by 
English terms of the same 
signification, having ea 
sounded, as in deal, fear; 
Dad, f&r, draed, leedan, 
braedo, hreto, hwaete, hae$, 
liae<Sen, clajne, laene, sae, aer, 
haelan, laeran, taecan, taesan, 
tresel, waepen, etc. 

S.Theae isknowntobelong,and 
therefore accented, when in 
monosyllables, assumingano- 
ther syllable in declining, ce' 
is found before a single con- 
sonant or st, sc, and follow- 
ed in nouns by a, o, u, and 
in adjectives by a, o, u, or e; 
as Blabda Fruits ; blaedum : 
dwaes Dull; g. m. dwaeses. 
The ce' is o.'ten changed 
into a ; as, Siaenen Stony, 
stan A stone: laer. l&r Lore, 
Th. R. 

JE-, prefixed to words, like A-, 
often denotes, a negative, 
deteriorating or opposite 
signification's Fro?;j,aM;tfy, 



out, without, etc. Like A-, 
be-, ge-, etc. ae is sometimes 
prefixed to perfect tenses, 
perfect participles, and other 
words, without any percepti- 
ble alteration in the sense.

D, 



D is sometimes changed into 
$, as snidan, sniSan To cut. 
D and t are often interchanged, 
as mette met, for metde. 

Nouns ending in d or t are 
generally feminine, as Ge- 
byrd, e ; /. Birth : Miht, e ; 
/. Might, power. 

A word, terminating with 
-ed, -d, indicates that a per- 
son or thing is furnished or 
provided with that which is 
expressed by the root, and is 
usually considered as a per- 
fect participle, although no 
verb may exist to which it 
can be assigned ; such words 
have, therefore, generally ge 
prefixed to them ; as Ge- 
hyrned Horned; Gesceod 
Shod, Rsk. 

The perfect participle ends 
in -ed, -od, but when the 
letters t, p, c, h, x, and s, 
after another consonant, go 
before the infinite -an, the 
vowel before the terminating 
-d is not only rejected, but 
d is changed into t; as from 
Dyppan To dip would be re- 
gularly formed dypped dip- 
ped, contracted into dyppd, 
dyppt, and dypt dipped.

1. Anglo-Saxon words, con- 
taining the short or unac- 
cented vowel e, are often re- 
presented by modernEnglish 
words of the same meaning, 
having the sound of e in net, 
met, fed, hell: as, Nett, 
bedd, weddian, hell, well, 
denn, fenn, webb, ende. 

2. The short e generally comes 
— 1st. Before a double con- 
sonant ; as, Nebb, weccan, 
tellan, weddian: — 21j. Be- 
fore any two consonants : as, 
Twentig, sendan, bernan. 
3!y. Before one or two con- 
sonants, when followed by a 
long or final vowel : as, Sele, 
henne. 

3. Words containing the long 
or accented Anglo-Saxon i, 
are very frequently repre- 
sented by English terms of 
the same signification, with 
the sound of & in meet, feed, 
heel : as, Metan, fet, swet, 
te$, fedan, hedan, med, hel, 
rec, cwen, ges. 

4. The long, or accented i, is 
used at the end of words : 
as, be ; and before the single 
consonants, I, m, n, r, s, t, d, 
%, c, g, and /; as, Stelan, 
hel, beran, fet, hedan, cwe- 
$an, specan. 

-e,in the termination of noons, 
denotes a person; as, Uyrde,

es ; m. A shepherd, from 
hyrdan to guard. The vowel 
-e is also used to form nouns 
denoting inanimate objects, 
asCyle, es; m. Cold; cwyde, 
es ; m. a saying, testament : 
bryce, es ; in. A breach : 
wlite, es ; in. beauty. These 
are mostly derived from 
verbs, and are masculine, but 
when derived from adjectives 
they are feminine, as Riht- 
wise, an ; /. Justice. 
-e is the termination of deri- 
vative adjectives; as, Wyrfce 
Worthy, from wur$ worth : 
forSgenge forthcoming, in- 
creasing. 
-e is also the usual letter by 
which adverbs are formed 
from adjectives ending in a 
consonant; as, Tlihterightly, 
soSliee truly, yfele badly.

G. 

\YnfeN g is the last>adical let- 
ter of an Anglo-Saxon word, 
and follows a vowel or an r, 
it is often changed into h, 
but then, the g is resumed, 
when followed by a syllable ; 
as, Beah a garland; g. — 
-beages : d. beage ; pi, bea- 
gas. — Wah a wall ; g. wa- 
ges. — Burh a town;g. burge. 
— Beorh a hill: g. beorges. 
— G is always inserted be- 
tween the vowels ie, making 
ige. Thus, from lufian to 
love, are formed ic lufige I 
love, lufigende loving, and 
not lufie, or lufiende. In Eng- 
lish words, directly formed 
from the Anglo-Saxon, g is 
often changed into y ; as, 
Gear a year, Dseg a day ; 
dagas days.

sometimes gives an active 
signification, like a preposi- 
tion placed after a neuter 
verb in English, as, neuter, 
to laugh; active, to laugh 
at, deride; and then forms

as, getimbrian to build. It 
often seems void of significa- 
tion ; as, gelic like ; gesund 
sound, healthy. In verbs, it 
seems sometimes to be a 
mere augment and to be pre- 
fixed to all the imperfects, 
not, as in German, to the 
participles only. It often 
changes the signification 
from literal to figurative; as,

had the sound of o in for ; as, 
for, coc, loc, corn , horn, born.

was sounded as 00 in cook, as

-o is used chiefly to form the 
names of qualities from adj. 
as, Menigeo The many, mul- 
titude — HaeloHealth. Nouns 
in, -o are /. and indcl. but

then they have a regular/, 
declension ; as, nom. Hselu ; 
g. d. ac. hsele. 

A few nouns in, -o are n. and 
make the g in, -ewes; as, 
Ealo, melo ; g. ealewes, me- 
lewes, etc.

To ; prep. d. To, towards, for, 
in, at, from. — To is never 
used before verbs in the infi- 
nitive mood,as in the present 
English ; but when to is put 
before a verb, it seems to 
convert the verb into a noun, 
and to govern it in the d. 
doubling the n, because the 
preceding vowel is short. 
This is what is often called 
a gerund ; but even in Latin 
the 0<?r«wdsamandi,amando, 
amandum, are merely the g. 
d. ac. o/amandus.

rally used exactly as to in

Wer, were, es ; m. A fine for 
slaying a man, the price or 
value of a man's life. Every 
man was valued at a certain 
sum, wbich was called his 
w6r, and whoever took his 
life was punished by having 
to pay this w6r to the family 
or relations of the deceased. 
The wer was therefore the 
penalty by which his safety 
was guarded and his crimes 
prevented or punished. If 
he violated certain laws, it 
was his legal mulct ; if he 
were himself attacked, it was 
the penalty inflicted on 
others. Hence it became the 
measure and mark of a man's 
personal rank and conse- 
quence, because its amount 
was exactly regulated by his 
condition in life— Wer- borh,

State for a violation of the 
lair. In A.-S. the loite was 
a penalty paid to the crown 
by a murderer. — The wCr 
was the fine a murderer had 
to pay to the family or re- 
latives of the deceased, and 
the wite was the fine paid 
to the magistrate who pre- 
sided over the district where 
the murder was perpetrated. 
Thus the wite was the satis- 
faction to be rendered to the 
community for the public 
wrong which had been com- 
mitted, as the wir was to 
the family for their private 
injury. — Jter.Hellewite.HeJZ

In expressing the sounds of th, 
the Anglo-Saxon orthogra- 
phy was more consistentthan 
the present English. We 
now use th to represent two 
sounds, as heard iu the words 
thing and this : the Anglo- 
Saxons, with greater proprie- 
ty, used two distinct charac- 
ters to denote these two se- 
parate sounds. The hard or 
sharp sound of th heard in 
thing is represented in Anglo- 
Saxon by p, b th; and the 
soft or flat sound, as found in 
this, soothe, is denoted by 
S dth. p or b th, repre- 
senting the hard or sharp 
sound, is used in Anglo- 
Saxon at the beginning of 
words and syllables ; as, bing 
thing, bebenean to bethink : 
% dth, denoting the soft or 
flat sound, isemployedatthe 
end of words and syllables ; 
as,s6J5 true; seo<San toseethe. 

Nouns derived from verbs, and 
ending in -a$, -o5, are in. as; 
Huntafc, es ; m. A hunting : 
warofc, es; m. The shore;— 
but those in -ae$,-u$, and 
-$, after one or more conso- 
nants, are/, as j DuguS, e;/. 
Virtue; s<el«, e;f. Happi-

PEG | 

king, A thane, nobleman, the 
Lord of a Manor, who had 
power from the Crown of 
holding a court. — A king's 
Thane, an Anglo-Saxon no- 
bleman, was inferior in rank 
to an eorl and ealdorman ; 
he was afterwards denomi- 
nated a baron. — There was 
an inferior Thane in the 
Conqueror's time, called a 
knight, who attended the 
king's Thane or Baron. The 
rank of a Thane, as well as 
the other titles of dignity 
among the A.-S., was not 
inherited, but was personal, 
hence it was attainable by 
all, even by the servile ; but, 
before any one could be ele- 
vated to the dignity of an 
inferior Thane, he must be 
in possession of five hides of 
his own land, a church, a 
kitchen, a bell-house, a ju- 
dicial seat at the burgh-gate 
and a seat in the witena ge 
mot. Whoever by his in- 
dustry and talent obtained 
these, became a Thane by 
right.— boren Thane born,
